! PLEASE NOTE: The budget displayed in this posting is a placeholder. We are looking for realistic quotes from applicants. Description: We are looking for a professional illustrator to bring a series of children’s books to life. The project involves coloring and enhancing pre-drawn sketches (raw line art) for each page, following a provided color palette and style guide. Minor background enhancements are welcome to enrich the illustrations. A before-and-after example will be provided. Project Details: - Each book contains approximately 30 pages, including the cover. - We plan to produce between 6 and 10 books over a 6-month period. - A paid test assignment (either a poster or a double-page spread) will be required before final selection. This test illustration will not be published in the books. - Selected illustrators will be engaged under a contract in compliance with French copyright law and will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Requirements: - Professional experience in children’s book illustration. - Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and understanding of the complete illustration workflow. - Ability to follow a color palette and style guide while adding subtle enhancements where appropriate. - Fluent in English and/or French. How to Apply: - Please provide a realistic price estimate for the full project. - Only serious professional illustrators should apply. Low-ball bids will not be considered; quality and reliability are our priorities. - Up to three illustrators will be selected for the paid test assignment before the final decision. This is a long-term and ambitious project. If you are a skilled, professional illustrator ready to commit to a multi-book project while respecting confidentiality, we would love to hear from you.
